Question
Chapter 13, Problem 23E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The pollutants responsible for acid rain and their origin are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Acid rain is a kind of rain that is full of acids. It causes environmental pollution. Acid rain is very harmful to the plants, soil, insects, bacteria, and aquatic life. The acid rain results in the corrosion of steel, is responsible for monumental damage and has a bad impact on human health.
